bill clinton was in office, federal spending was 22% of gdp. eight years later, we were a little over 18%. that is a big cut in the cost of government. that was the biggest boom period we ever saw in this country. the economy never did better. i do not see evidence that these cutbacks in spending -- i agree with professor fuller that doing it rapidly overnight will cause some dislocation. i think the medium- and longer- term effects of this will be quite positive. >> i agree with steve, and in that ben as well, and respect what the long-term benefits are. the issues i have raised -- and it is beyond the washington monument in fact -- is that a cut in federal agencies uniformly, which is almost what sequester requires, does not allow federal agencies to decide they can just do 2% this year and 3% or 10% a year later. they have to go in there and cut severely. dod has already started that process, and their ability to maintain their levels of readiness as is required of them, they claim at least, i cannot judge this, are already close at hand. th

it is a catch-22. it is either going to get better or it is going to get worse. it does not matter who is president. that is what keeps me in the middle. host: so, did last night's debate help you find clarity? caller: with the vice president candidates, with the vice president, the debate last night, you know, i could not see either one of those gentlemen becoming a commander in chief. think about any other president. could you see any one of those gentlemen becoming the president of the united states? that is what scares me the most. first off, the commander in chief. you're the president of the largest, best economy in the world, the best military, the best country, and if something were to happen to a president, were one of these guys going to be able to step up and do the job? i don't think either could do it. no matter what's it -- what they sit back and forth to each other, it really is inconsiderate. irrelevant, sorry. host: there is another presidential debate coming up tuesday. there's a headline this morning, "obama heads to virginia." the president is
